Food in Lear
Most of his limericks that feature food are devoted to the demise of the character due to overeating or feature curious food choices such as spiders. This limerick stands out for me because not only of its edible element but also by its position in the last line.
There was an Old Man of the coast,Implied is some domestic help able and willing to supply the requested sustenance.
Who placidly sat on a post;
But when it was cold
He relinquished his hold
And called for some hot buttered toast.
Edward Lear. Complete Nonsense.
And so for day 2218
